I always avoided reading Jalopnik and Hooniverse back when they started so that I wouldn't repost their stuff, because it would uselessly redundant to have their material on my blog, everyone was already reading their blogs.

 I just wondered a moment ago if Hooniverse was still even in business. Not really, it sold out years ago. 

How can a person tell? 

Here's the words from their origin post:

Hooniverse intends to be the dumping ground for everything that’s not going to generate enough traffic at sites where they care about such things. Posts will never be optimized to maximize search results. Word count is irrelevant. Hooniverse does not cover Automotive News in the traditional sense.

and look at it's posts lately, they are some useless garbage

New car reviews for traffic, lots of crap optimized for search results. Damn shame. It began as a fun site. 

It sure as hell was trying to avoid doing car reviews on boring new vehicles from Lexus, Subaru, McLaren, Genesis, Nissan and Honda
